Number Five has made it quite clear that insults of this kind will not be tolerated. FWIW I welcome this approach.

Thank you, PTD. It certainly makes debate a lot better when we aren't name-calling, deriding, jeering, sneering, and generally being hateful to one another.

My remit is to try to put an end to all that, and with the help of all concerned we are getting there. Sometimes it's the old one step forward and two back, but mostly we are winning, I feel. There are times when I feel like lashing out, and I am in no doubt others feel likewise, but a bit of restraint and commonsense go a long way.
